"With books, or work, or healthful play,
Let your first years be past,
That you may give, for every day,
Some good account at last."
-McGuffey's Eclectic Third Reader
We are using our McGuffey Readers again for our language lessons and it is so nice having such Godly wisdom to glean from as we are learning language skills. Copywork, dictation, spelling, vocabulary and oral reading as well as some grammar instruction are all included in our weekly lessons, but even more important are these "extras"....Biblical wisdom that is often neglected in modern curriculum. This week's lesson is on punctuality...another wonderful lesson to learn early in life!

Wow! Powerful words, right on! Great reminder of what I should be doing with my time. Thank you. Stopping by from the Hop.
We haven't used our McGuffy Readers for several years. Perhaps, it's time to pull them out again. Thanks for the reminder.
I am starting a Linky Party if you want to link up at http://livinglifeintentionally.blogspot.com/2011/10/first-ever-linky-party.html
We love McGuffey's! So good!
